A top political nemesis of President Vladimir Putin was shot and killed early Saturday in central Moscow, Russian police said, one day before an opposition rally was scheduled to take place.

Boris Nemtsov, 55, a former deputy prime minister, was shot four times from a passing car as he was walking on a bridge just outside the Kremlin. Interior Ministry spokeswoman Yelena Alexeyeva told reporters on the scene that Nemtsov was walking with a female acquaintance, a Ukrainian citizen, when a vehicle drove up and unidentified assailants shot him dead. The woman wasn't hurt.

...”[In the latest Whodunnit saga] “....

That's pretty much what's happening as everyone chimes in...this is going to be like a soap opera. Some of the theories are hysterical. I got a kick out of his girlfriend wanting to go home to her "mommy" since she's ill..and The Kremlin is keeping her "captive"......Even though she's a key witness she's too stupid to realize her own life is in danger. Oh well...thus goes the saga's of Ukrainians ....typical drama.

....”Political assassinations in Russia are usually done in secret”....

When our own state department says 'Putin has nothing to gain by doing this' you know it's likely they don't want anything revealed they might have had a hand in either....since like Poroshenko...Nemtsov was one of our guys

The whole thing is just too "Messy" so no doubt hired armatures...interesting too the gal with Nemtsov said to be also dating a Ukrainian Commander....and the plots thicken...

Here's 'our' next guy waiting in the wings to assume control when Putins done.... oil tycoon "Mikhail Khodorkovsky" who is funding and assisting the on the ground activists to oppose Putin.....though he controls things outside of Russia now.

Here on the right, with Ukraine Pres. Poroshenko....you really can't seperate Ukraine and Russian politicians....these Oligarchs play their own games for political power and control of revenues and oppose one another...high stakes poker all the time...

And here he is sitting behind the pillar with Putin;s team Putin before he was tossed to the curb

The lady with the wheel on her head can handle these Russians better than any of this current batch. She just does not bow down to the Obamanation too kindly. She had more friends here before we had regime change. She seems to be well into the background these days.

Wheel on her head can and does play all sides for her own gain....she wants the Presidency which has been her desire. If you search her background you will find , though she knows how to work the people, she is an Oligarch and obtained her wealth the same corrupt ways the others have. Then she sought the power, and still does.

When she was running against Poroshenko she got more than angry with the US politicians who sidestepped her for Poroshenko...she really “assumed” our representatives would get behind her and they did lead her to think so. Meanwhile they knew Yats and Poroshenko were going to carry the ball.

She is in the Ukraine Parliment now...they had to give her some position of authority, Yats pulled some strings and got her in. HAd they not she would have raised more cain then we’ve already seen by her “Army”.

Frankly all Ukraine has done is shift Oligarchs....and Maiden now says likewise...which is why there will be another Maidan before this over and any reasonable returns to Ukraine....and reasonable by their standards not ours.

When the purpose is terror, you WANT someone to see. This is true especially if the witness is connected to others who oppose Putin, which evidently this woman is. If the killers are at all worried about being ID’d, at night, a little makeup is all that is needed.
